Dr. Cohen is caring and compassionate. My previous experience with my former ophthalmologist was rushed, and I did not fully understand my treatment options. Dr. Cohen took the time to explain all of my options, and he initially favored conservative treatment as our first step. Ultimately, I did not respond to medications and I required surgery. Thankfully, the operation was a great success and I am no longer experiencing the pain that I once had. From the moment I first met him, I knew I was working with a surgeon who prioritized my best interests. I would recommend him without hesitation. The office staff is kind and they assisted me throughout the entire process.

I was pretty nervous when I saw Dr. Cohen for the first time and he told me I need to have cataracts removed in both eyes. And he would insert lenses to replace my coke bottle glasses. I had been struggling with my vision over the past few years. Working on a computer every day was getting harder and harder. I had my work arounds but I got tired of hearing myself say, “what does that say”, “I can’t see it”. Watching a movie with subtitles was exhausting. Dr. Cohen put my mind at ease right away and talked me through what he was going to do making sure I understood exactly what was about to happen. I am a living miracle! Before the reading eye chart was so sad but now I can read the eye chart from across the room. Down to pretty small print. Because I was so myopic I will still need readers for reading labels and tiny print up close. I can see my computer screens perfectly. Thanks to Dr. Cohen’s talent and skill I came through the procedures on both eyes with flying colors. No pain during the operation and minimal discomfort afterward. Don’t be afraid, you are in good hands. Shout out to the office team for their help and kindness!

June 7, 2020Dr. Cohen is the most thoughtful and respectful doctor I have ever met. He is treating my eye related problems and has given great advice about relevant management. He also surgically treated my husband's cataracts, and my husband is also very satisfied with the care and service Dr. Cohen offers. I would recommend Dr. Cohen to everyone seeking an opthalmologist.

May 31, 2023Dr.Cohen is a very caring and thorough doctor. He saved my eyesight during the height of the covid pandemic .My eye pressure was ridiculously high. He scheduled surgery and has kept very close observation of my progress. My eye pressure has been stable for 2 years. I couldn't be more grateful .

FAQs
Are you looking to learn more about glaucoma or cataracts? Here are answers to some of the questions that patients frequently ask at the Glaucoma & Cataract Center of New Jersey. Content is provided for informational purposes only, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Glaucoma
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition where the nerve that sends images from the eye to the brain is damaged. It is usually caused by high eye pressure and can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is sometimes referred to as the “silent thief” because it can gradually steal a person’s vision without pain or symptoms.
Fortunately, we can test for glaucoma in our Livingston, NJ office. With regular eye exams, early detection, and proper medical care, you can preserve your sight and prevent vision loss.
Cataracts
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Individuals with cataracts complain of blurred or decreased vision.
